Are you wondering how to make money with a blog? I'll explain.
You were probably surprised to discover that there are people who make money with their blog and from that day on you wonder how to make money with a blog. It's easy if you know how to do it.
We see many blogs published on the net every day, some of them are merely informative or were created solely to express opinions or share knowledge and points of view, but others are oriented to generate income. How do they do that?
The first step is to choose a platform to create your blog. There are free platforms that although they are good, you have to take into account something important: they have limited features, so the recommended thing, if you really want to take blogging seriously and make money, is to buy a domain and hire a hosting service. Both are very inexpensive.
But before choosing and buying your domain name, you must be very clear about what topic you want to talk about on your blog, what market niche you want to focus on.
Once you are clear on this, it is highly recommended to choose a domain name that is directly related to a keyword in the chosen niche. It is not advisable to choose a domain name just because it is fun or original, the effective thing is that it is related to your niche. If it is also fun and original, much better.
Some tips:
- Pick a niche that you are passionate about. You should not take this as an obligation but as your hobby. It is the most productive. Be consistent. Write at least one article a day without stopping for a single day, at least during the first 3 or 4 months. This is not going to be difficult if the topic you chose is of interest to you. After publishing your article on your blog, also publish it in article directories, social networks, etc…. always including a link that points to your blog. The objective is position your blog and its content in the first places of search engines, especially in Google, therefore, DO NOT COPY. Google loves original content, but hates copies. If you copy, you will never see your blog in the first of Google and without positioning there are no visits and without visits there is no income.
Now let's finally talk about the interesting part: how to make money with a blog.
With Google AdSense Ads
It consists of placing Adsense advertising on your blog. Google reads the article you wrote and shows ads relevant to your topic. You win every time a visitor to your blog clicks on your ads.
To place Adsense ads on your blog, you must have a Gmail account and open your Google Adsense account with it. You set up your Adsense ad and paste the code on your blog. Ready!
With affiliate products
They are also a great source of income for your blog. Through affiliate programs, you can promote third-party products on your blog, placing your affiliate link that will send the visitor to the sales page of the product you promote. If your visitor buys the product, you receive a commission.
There are affiliate products that provide a commission of up to 70-80% and in some cases even more.
Take care that the products you promote are directly related to the topic of your blog or chosen market niche. It is also very important that you promote products that you know well or are completely sure that they are good products and that they work. Your reputation is at stake because it is you who is recommending them.
With your own products
If you have your own products or services to sell, promote them on your blog. If you don't have them yet, here's an idea:
When you have published a good number of articles on your blog, you can order them, rewrite them by expanding the information and create your own e-book. It is a good idea to add a gift of value to your e-book to awaken or increase the desire to buy in your visitors. It can be, for example, a mini video course that teaches exactly how to do something specific, something that is highly demanded by your audience.
This is a bit more laborious but think that the commission per sale will be entirely yours.
With advertising spaces
When your blog is already recognized within your market and is getting a good amount of traffic, you can rent advertising space to other bloggers or websites in the same niche.
You will include advertising from those sites in your articles or anywhere else on your blog and you will charge for that advertising.
The higher the positioning and prestige of your blog, the higher prices you can charge.
Consultancy
You can promote yourself as a consultant. Despite the fact that information is not lacking on the internet, there are always people who prefer to pay a certain amount of money to be personally advised instead of investing their time searching for information on the net.
These are just a few ideas on how to make money from a blog.
As you can see, it is not difficult, although there is something that is necessary to be very clear: if we want to make money with our blog, first it is necessary to make it an authority site. A site that adds value to visitors, that has sufficient credibility and followers, that offers valuable and genuine information and this is achieved with hard work, passion for what we do and, above all, perseverance.
But think the hardest work will be until take off Once your blog has become an important site within your niche (if you set your mind to it, it won't take long to get it) the work will be lighter and your income will continue to grow as long as you don't abandon it.
You can be the next successful blogger!
